Relocation is one of those problems everyone knows is painful. Visas, docs, costs, “how do I open a bank account when I land?” — it’s messy. We figured if AI can write code, maybe it can also untangle moving abroad.

What it does

RelocateOS takes your situation (where you’re from, where you’re going, why you’re moving) and turns it into a plan. You get a simple explanation you can read, plus a JSON version that can feed into checklists or dashboards. It covers visas, required documents, cost ranges, timelines, risks, and the basics you need on day one.

How we built it

Honestly, pretty scrappy. Built on a phone in about an hour. Prompt engineering, a lightweight schema, and a few corridor rules. We layered in some verification so the JSON doesn’t break, and made sure it points back to sources.

Challenges we ran into • Writing, testing, and fixing prompts on mobile. • Getting JSON to stay valid. • Balancing “human-friendly” and “machine-readable” outputs.

Accomplishments that we’re proud of • Generated working JSONs that actually make sense. • Proved the idea is scalable: just add new country rules and it works. • Showed you can build a functional prototype in a really scrappy way.

What we learned

AI is nice, but it needs structure and guardrails to be useful. And speed + constraints (like working on mobile) force you to keep the scope tight and focused lol.

What’s next for RelocateOS

Add more relocation routes, plug the JSON into a front-end checklist, and test with HR/university teams to see if it solves real pain points.
